I agree sometimes it's just too much fabric to work with :o) I used single folds on the mug rug swap thru Michele's quilting gallery site. Something I did was iron the in half fold and the quarter fold to make it easier for me turning under the raw edge. I haven't had a lot of raw edge practice and it seems I unravel it!

(She's not going to use it, but put it on the wall - so I figured single fold would be fine.) The binding came out so well!

I just like the binding so much that I like to see a bit more of it. <br /><br />Next, Carol- show everyone how to join their binding edges together, those huge lumps where they overlap them bug me, too. :) Either the straight way (easiest) or the bias(harder to show), but it's so much better than the lump. <br /><br />As for more than 5 photos, you can add more. Just close out the photo window and then click on the photo add button again and you can add up to 5 more, every time. Also, to move them, either click on them and drag or cut and paste. This is easier with Mozilla than it is with IE, though. I don't know what system you're using....Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173235828267519961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685326246628637667.post-4921627012438942682010-10-10T06:23:55.564-07:002010-10-10T06:23:55.564-07:00Yes, ladies, these are straight cuts, not bias cut...Yes, ladies, these are straight cuts, not bias cuts.

The demonstrator used a 2-1/4" bias strip. I asked if you could use strips of other sizes and was told no, the guide was only calibrated for that size strip. Well that's one less gadget I'll have to worry about buying!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685326246628637667.post-58886265527168347332010-10-09T20:39:14.756-07:002010-10-09T20:39:14.756-07:00Very clever!
